Kinder Surprise Eggs

I should add that after I brought 9 of these back from England in April, I read a story about some guy who had done the same thing with just a couple and he got in serious legal trouble.

Apparently they are considered a choking hazard here because it's a non-food item hidden in food.

A couple years ago I ordered 4 dozen from a supplier in Canada and gave them out at work at Christmas. Most everyone seemed to enjoy them although there were a few cases of toy envy, as some of the toys are cooler than others. I'd guess there were at least 10 different toys in the mix, although I didn't see them all opened... the big shots took them back to their offices.
You're right about the ban for choking hazard, but nobody choked on mine... or called the feds.

I looked it up. Threatened with a $2,500 fine per egg and detained for a few hours, but then let go with no charges filed.
